Rating 71.5

Stone Mountain Golf Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf that are a part of Stone Mountain Park, which is one of the Southeast's most popular attractions. The Lakemont Course winds around the beautiful Stone Mountain Lake through forests of Georgia pines and hardwoods. John LaFoy, a native of the state, designed the golf course. He incorporated his signature mounding and dramatic bunkering, which is enhanced even further by the wildly undulating terrain. The lake is more prominent on the front nine where water comes into play on six holes. The back nine still features water on four holes, but there are more rocky outcroppings, providing different but equally stunning scenery. Stunning mountain views can be enjoyed from every hole and golfers will also be able to glimpse the famous Confederate memorial carving featuring Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson.

Beautiful Day on The Lake

The setting was absolutely beautiful • sunny and 67

- The course is in great shape the Front Nine on Lakemont is one of the prettiest stretch of holes in the area.

Shot a 44 but would have gone lower if I was focused and wasn't taking so many pictures

Not Worth the Money

Staff was nice.. Course itself was in pretty bad condition. Bad fairways, greens were okay at best. The views of the mountain and the lake were gorgeous but that was the only perk. I wont be back.

It’s a shame this course is in the condition it is in.

Most of the tee boxes had more dirt than grass, the greens need to be shut down and regrown. They had a frost delay so the pace of place was pretty slow. They had one cart girl split between Stonemont and Lakemont. We had to go to the starter shack and ask them to call her over to hole 10. Luckily we had a hot deal and the round was right at $50 after taxes and fees. Unfortunately I won’t be going back to this or the Stonemont course for a long time if ever!

Lakemont 1/6/23

Course is in pretty good shape for mid-winter season. Bill in the pro shop is a super good guy. Outside guys were helpful without hovering. I had to try 4 carts though before I got one with a functional USB. Good value at $60. Amazing views of the mountain.

Unacceptable Rates

I read through some of the other reviews and they are clearly fake accounts. I’ve played this course 8 times but Saturday was the first time in a couple years. I’ve enjoyed it in the past and had no issue with paying the near $100 this weekend because of that. Unfortunately the greens could not be worse. They are completely brutal along with the bunkers and made that price a complete rip off. Save your money for now and hopefully it’s just a seasonal thing. Don’t allow them to take advantage of you like they did me with those awful conditions based on the price they ask for.

Shadow of the Mountain

It’s been several years since we have played the course and for as much as we had to pay it was disappointing. A lot of the Tee Boxes were not in good shape. Good things were the leaves were blown off the greens and Fairways. The greens rolled pretty good for as much rain as fell the day before. No food shack on the turn but thanks to the Beverage Cart that was waiting at the 10th Tee Box!

First Time Playing

6-7 hour pace of play - on a Thursday….

Waited on every hole and groups were double stacked on tee boxes starting on tee #2. Called Marshal a few holes in and no action taken. After 4+ hours and triple stacked on 12th tee we called it and headed in. The group causing the back up(4 elderly women playing every shot when they hit it about 20 feet per shot) was 2 holes ahead and driving in there was not a single group on 15,16,17 or 18.

Marshal should be regulating pace of play.

Amazing

The people that work there were super friendly especially for it being our first time there. We played the Lake course and I recommend it to everyone. This is coming from someone who has just started playing and has only been to like 5 courses so impressing me is pretty easy. I would love to come back again.

Overpriced

This course is way overpriced for the conditions that the course is in. A better price would be closer to $60-70.

Way over priced, greens are a disaster

I can’t believe they charge $104 when majority of the greens are severely damaged and multiple tee boxes need work.

It’s crazy that Stonemount is in phenomenal shape but Lakemount is in need of a makeover.
